I've had experience with both. Had very toxic friends in HS which made me feel fat, autistic and creepy and I was. Found a uni group which made me feel handsome, charming and alluring and then I turned into that gradually.
@@bIuefox this is why it’s elaborated onto being the best version of yourself. So don’t pretend to be someone you’re not, but do look into yourself and improve yourself. Be the best you that you can be and put yourself out there and eventually you’ll find people that like you
It's hard fr, but everyday try to get to know yourself more! Try to think about your likes, your values, and you'll see that eventually you'll feel better!! It's a process, but it's worth trying to work with. Every day is an oportunity to learn new things, remember that!
Coming from a girl: if she doesn't like you for your true self, she isn't worth it. Personally, my past crushes have been people who are friendly and look like they take care of themselves; meaning you don't have to be insanely good-looking for a girl to like you. So to guys trying to pull a girl, just be nice and take care of yourself.
@@ted9030 Basic hygiene means showering, not wearing dirty clothes, and taking care of your teeth; if you have bad skin you should take care of it, but if your skin is normal there's no need to use products, really. Healthy, clean hair in a style that suits you does wonders as well (and you don't need to buy a bunch of hair products, either). Also, taking care of your body by eating (mostly) healthy, and taking care of yourself mentally is important because it will reflect in your confidence and social skills.
@@JakPiggott The title is the best thing about the video, although it is then a clickbait to say "noo bro, I only meant being ugly as a person not physically!"
As a woman I agree, my friends and I find men much more attractive when they're being themselves. All through highschool, there was this one group of boys who would always get in trouble, always vape and overall they just weren't being who they truly are. That group of boys always hated women and called them weak and pathetic. Needless to say, only one of the twelve guys ever got a girlfriend in high school. Even then, the girl that he dated was depressed and addicted, she probably just dated him because she had a deep void in her life and she probably believed the only way to fill it was to get with a guy, any guy. For the other guys, the ones who were genuine and true to themselves, they were the ones who got the girls.
Yeah to be honest the students at my school are exactly the same. The kids who were real popular at the time of this video got a lot of attention and now they barely get any. The kids who were focused and still are focused now have the most fulfilling relationships (from an outside perspective at least anyway)
yes it really just boils down to being honest for me. if they are honest with themselves and can live in it and still show growth, then i feel i can do the same around them. if someone puts up an act, its gonna start a mindgame that leads to feeling judged or malplaced. if someone is supposed to be a potential love interest, they need to be able to make you feel relaxed and grounded, not play mindgames with you. i wouldnt say its necessarily about confidence versus insecurity. im not super confident myself. if someone is insecure, it can still be attractive if they are open about it and express it. honesty is the real thing
Personally I know too many guys who openly hate women and yet have no problem with dating them at all, it doesn't look like there is a correlation between respecting women and how attactractive they find you in general. As for being genuine and true to themselves, it matters even less. It's a pretty abstract concept and people don't really think about it a lot
Refusing the vape was a good decision even if they think your a wimp or something EDIT: i think this is my first time having more than 1000 likes.. thanks guys. EDIT 2: guys if you get offered a vape, even if it's tempting, don't take a hit because it won't be worth the addiction (although you may not gain an addiction from just one, its just not worth it). If you ever see someone vaping, don't tell on them because if they find out it was you that told on them they won't be very happy about that. So instead, let them do it, There choice.
Thank you for this video! It's exactly what I've needed! When high school started, I started diluting my true self and I built this fake persona because of some shit that happened in middle school. I've done this for three years and no one has ever wanted to even really be close with me much less date me. This summer, I have started to chip away, crack, and destroy this fake persona. This video helped me a lot with diagnosing this problem as I am going to be a senior in high school in 67 days and I am going to go into it as my true, authentic self. There is going to be tough decisions to make and many things I'll have to abandon, but it will all be worth it in the end. Keep doing good work, Jak! I wish you the best!
As a girl I agree… another thing that I like to keep in mind is, what kind of partner do you want to spend the rest of your life with? Someone who loves you for your genuine self or someone who loves the version of you you’ve put up to hide your insecurities and true self? I believe that with time you’ll find yourself miserable in that position of not facing yourself and it will definitely deprive you from the success you could have, because you’re hiding your true self with all of the potential it had.
@@TxSj3-ij1ob I mean, to be honest, you are absolutely right, at least for those of us searching for a partner. It's just that I'm not looking for anyone right now, possibly and even probably ever. And, now that I think about it, what you've said does actually play into it; around most people in the world, maybe even all people in the world, I would not be able to be my true self. Sure, there are eight-billion people in the world, maybe a girl exists out there who would support my goals and my ideals but, until I meet that girl, I'm not getting involved with whole romance idea and will just accept that I will be single for the entire duration of my time on Earth.
Jak, I love how you are open to sharing stories including past negative events. It makes me feel inspired and willing to improve my life. I was bullied in school and it didn't stop me from being by true self. I lived my life doing what I love but I wasn't able to share my passion with my frends, making me feel disconnected from the rest of school after class
This is very inspiring, as a young woman who’s dealing with bad social anxiety, it’s been very tough for me to be myself around people, and it started even affecting my closer friendships… (which has been kinda heartbreaking for me) but I want to thank you Jak so much for reminding people the truth, you’ve already said it all so I have nothing to add! God bless you all and I hope we can all keep reminding each other theses important things! ❤
It’s crazy because I’m a guy and I also am going through that social anxiety and feel uncomfortable around people and it really does affect friendships for sure. I hope we overcome this 🙏
You’ve been helping me lately. As a 15 year old, I’ve been struggling with self confidence and other things but you’ve been helping me work through through them. Please never stop making videos❤
Thank you Jak for everything, from the videos you made i was inspired to better myself, while i might still be struggling with lust, i have been going to the gym for 2 months so far, improved my personality (according to my friends), i might not be the best version of myself yet, but you are the reason i started self improvement, if it wasnt for you i wouldnt have started going to the gym or stopped having my toxic personality, but being my true self. i dont know where id be if i hadnt gotten one of your videos in my reccomended feed.
This genuinely inspires me so much bro, but don't give me to much credit for your progress, tens of millions of people come across videos similar to mine everyday and 99.9% of them never take action. You should be giving yourself more credit for actually applying my words, and I hope you realise that ❤
It's honestly so true that when you're around someone that's authentic to them self's and confident in them self's you're very relaxed and authentic yourself as well. Its probably hard to imagine for some people but remember when you were a kid and didn't really care what other people thought and obviously this would mostly be before you started school or whatever but it's very true and I think jak did an amazing job at explaining it ❤ All of jaks videos are absolutely amazing and I know he'll not believe that Hehe its helped me alot so THANK YOU SOO MUCH . Much love Peace ✌
8:34 I'm a girl I thought someone else would've said this but I completely agree with you, the most attractive thing you can do is try to be the best version of yourself, sincerity, authenticity is key.
Actually the most attractive thing you can do is be hot af visually. That's just the reality of the world. Ofc being hot isn't enough for people with standards, but let's be real, standards in 2024? jk
This is actually so relatable right now, in this part of my life, and I want to thank you for reminding me and others that the beauty in a person its their true self. Great vid
thank you man i needed this so much. this week i was trying to realized why everybody started hating on me, why i cant get girls like i used to do before and why my life had changed in a bad way and i found out that the only reason was because i wasn't my self and i was tryna act cool and shi. so rn im just tryna remember my true self and im trying to act normal again❤
The difference between just beeing yourself and being the best version of yourself is the key point you made people truly understand the saying "just be yourself". Chapeau!
I can relate to this pretty deeply, i've had identity issues for as long as i can remember. I didn't hold any of the "friendships" i had from school, can't really call them friendships looking back to it. But it has been bothering me, that if i even put in enough effort to be considered as a friend, and now that i'm in my 20's i don't really know how to socialize anymore. And to add on top of that, i've gotten really paranoid about other peoples intentions and constantly think that are they just using me for something they want. Now i'm just trying to achieve my own goals i guess, it is lonely and all, but at least i have a chance of being truly okay with myself. I don't want to depend on outside validation anymore.
man i am so grateful that i watched this, im currently still in highschool and i've been having problems with anxiety and being insecure, and like what you did before, i tried to copy other people, but because of that i ended up ruining some of my relationships with my other friends slightly. I've always thought that being myself would make other people consider me "weird", but after watching this, and after talking to my friends about this, my views have changed, and i cant thank you enough for making this video, because it truly did help me a lot.
As someone who has been through very similar things like this, I'm left speechless. And the fact that you're teaching others to not make the same mistakes you have through your own experience in life is genuinely heartwarming. It is truly important, to just be yourself
Jak, please read this You are absolutely one of the best people I have seen videos of. You are the best motivational person ever. The deep trench I was falling into with the popular friend group seemed like something decent to do, but then i switched groups and realized that this mob mentality that these people were getting was going to be really bad. I still sometimes go into t he friend group, but I won’t be a full member and do anything they tell me to do for respect, I would just be an ally and a friend with the group form now on, thanks to this video. It looks like I dodged a whole bomb here. I realized that I was putting a mental mask on and hiding my true self for respect and attention. It was stupid and I’m glad I saved myself. Thank you for being my savior, along with the many subscribers you have.
I feel like i’m being my true self and I’m confident in it. And I honestly would say that i look pretty good. But I don’t think that any girl is that attracted to me, do I just need to wait? And btw, I can’t tell how many times you have saved my day from just being a lay-in-bed-all-day-and-scroll-on-tiktok-day Jak. You give me motivation like crazy for actually doing something with my life and every time I get stuck scrolling, your videos, no matter the purpose, always makes me do what I’m supposed to do. Love ya, peace
DUDE I spent almost all of 6th grade putting an arrogant personality, but in the final two weeks I realized that was horrible. This video only encourages me more not to follow that path, well done.
as a female australian i can completely understand the stuff hes talking ab growing up, ab the guys and even some girls being them eshay types and stuff. hes completely right and now that im a bit older i still dont know everything, but lemme js say the guys that are like that are super unattractive to me cus i know its all an act. as a girl i used to even try be an eshay or gangster or whatever type but it never rlly felt right and now im tryna be my best genuine self it feels so much more refreshing. it feels so good to be myself and only surruond myself with others with a similar mindset. thank you for this video and i love ur content :)
I gotta say that i love that a can relate to almost all of you’re videos. Ive been through the same thing before and the lesson i learned is don’t be someone your not, be an original. Love the content Much love 👊❤️
I went through the exact same situation as a middle schooler. I absolutely envied the popular kids, wanted to be in their group so that I could feel included. I even knew the group leader from a previous school in around 1st or 2nd grade, before he was transfered to the catholic school I later also attended. I tried to fit in with them, and wanted to be like them, but I was always excluded. Not by being told no, but more or less they'd just look at me with a plain face, then simply ignore me, like I was being shunned. It was phychological tortue. I'm lucky I didn't end up with any sort of depression or mental issue by the time I graduated. What that whole experience, from the moment I stepped foot in that school to the moment I left, was that no matter how poorly you're treated by your peers in such a desparate community, you should always stand your ground and push through. School is a horrific mental battlefield of social heirarchy and soured mentalities, only defeated by those who see through nonsensical claims that "if you aren't part of a group, you're no one".
I'm so happy that this kind of thing is the direction we as a society are turning in now, actually educational content with valuable lessons about life. It's people like you and your lessons that help everyone the most, you should be very proud of that.
Ay dude I'm in 12th grade now, and I always hide my true self in front of my friends and try to be more like them, you know, try to fit in. But it doesn't work and they will keep ignoring me like they always have, all my life. Your life resonates with me man. I'd rather be alone than give up my comfortable personality. This video is my turning point. Just because everyone is stupid doesn't mean you too have to be stupid. Thanks
I am in 10th grade and 1 month ago I used to hang out with these so called friends, they were good people before but then they changed, I didn't like their negative attitude and not gonna lie I was trying to be like them for like 2 whole freaking years, I lost my true self and forgot who I truly am, and recently I got into a fight with them and I decide that fk it , I am fine with being alone than having stupid people as friends, I am trying to get back to my true self now .....
I needed this video man. It's my final year of being on my childhood swim team and last year I was one of the fastest, so I let the attention get to my head. I'm going to do my best to be myself this year and encourage the new swimmers, but also have fun with my friends while being myself.
hey man, I've been struggling a lot with my personality, I was told that I didn't have one. I'd always just talk like my friends copy them be like them because I thought they were cool. Not because they bullied me into it or anything I just thought that's how I would interact with them. It got to a point where I couldn't be myself even if I tried and it got anyone to them so they cut me off. I stopped talking to them for 6 months and found another friend to start talking to, eventually I got caught back in the loop of just accidentally acting like them and not trying to say what I wanna say and instead just started agreeing with him on everything. I tried to stop but at that point I don't know that I could find where or who I was, I was so disassociated with my self that the only thing I knew how to do was copy what they did. Fast forward to now and not much has changed, The old group of friends came back to talk because at that point I hadn't seen them in a year and a half. They apologized for blocking me and whatever but that's not the point. My question to you is, how do I break this cycle? How do I become someone that is a someone? How do I stop and think about what I've done and turn that into how I talk how I walk and how I think?
I'm one of these "eshays" here there is a lil secret: even tho their talking to a lot of people it's hard to make very close relationships, not impossible but hard. I do have very close friends but it was difficult doing that. The advantage is that there is a friend for everything, whenever I need to just chill & laugh I have a group of boys I train with, whenever I need emotional suppot I have like 3-8 females I can talk to. Whenever I need to gossip about boys I have a different group of females... You get my point by now.
Yeah, I’ve always noticed that these people, even though they are friends, they just feel so.. disconnected. Like sure they make a lot of friends but I’ve never seen them grow a personal connection to one without being their true self, really, these “eshays” when they put up their “mask” they never develop any true or deep relationship
Jak I know you may never see this, but today I was at school with that one group of "gangster" kids in my class (Im year 8, going to secondary because I got accepted sooner) and I never noticed this one thing before this video: this whole year I was trying to be like them. All year have I spent analyzing their behavioral patterns and getting to know how they joke and etc. Today I spent my first day talking to them, they laughed at my dirty jokes, they started listening to me, I swore and much more. I let down my one real friend that I made fun of today. They laughed at my jokes about him and I felt somewhat comfort but deep down I knew something was wrong. I hope I didn't break our bond. I will try to act on your advice and be a better person through improvement. I have no idea how this video got to me (propably chinese spies) but I am truly greateful that it did. Thx
Keep being true to yourself man and who you are, you're young, you have a lot to learn and to experience but always just hang around the right crowd and do the things you love in life.
I’m 12, and I think that I could relate to this. I was pressured into using a vape, I have never touched one since. I could relate to being called names becuase you didn’t do what they asked, putting people down, ect. I will try to be myself, and I am doing my best. Thank you for this video.
Wow, your school years have been exactly like mine, it’s comforting to see that so many people have gone through the same things, year 7 I found myself walking around with the “popular” group where I was just following them and trying to be like them. Then in year 8 they turned on this other girl in the group (who I had just met and was starting to get to know) so I stuck up for her and it was the best decision of my life because I started to be myself again . Now 3 years later I have found myself a lifelong best friend and a small group which I love so much and I believe that if I hadn’t left the “popular” girls then my life would have turned out much differently!
Thank you for this video Jack. I’ve been watching them for a while and I think this one hit me much harder than the rest of them, as I’ve been really thinking about how I want to be more confident and fit in more. The problems you were having prior to being with the popular kids are very similar to the problems im experiencing now and I really want to thank you for this advice. Rather than chase lifestyle of these popular dudes at my school I will strive to be the best version of my authentic self, all thanks to you man❤
There’s two things that really helped me and it’s being a little kinder to yourself. I had really low self esteem and hated myself quite frankly, I held myself to ridiculous standards and was constantly never enough. Evening just verbally being kinder to myself thought me so much about being positive. I just found that trying to see the good things made life more enjoyable? I used to be super pessimistic and even though I still have depression people like being around people that make them feel better not worse? The other thing is that trying to be someone you’re not is a waste of who you are. I found that unapologetically being myself made me meet people who I actually get along with. Idk in the past couple years I’ve made friends that I now consider family. It’s rough but things get better :)
im glad that you got better now and have more friends that you consider family. So um, what specific things did you do to be a kinder to yourself and raise your low self esteem? Did you stop looking in the mirror as much and point out all of your imperfections for example. Ty, have a lovely day/night!
I’m not a guy but this video was still super cool and helpful and I have gone through something similar to you and this video really helped me to know that being popular will never make me as happy as being who I am
Man, thanks a lot for this video. I haven't watched you in a while, but I came across this video and realized that being my true self really does make everything much better.
I have a question... Who's me? Who am i? What if i have made a mask from various people's personality and now I don't know what's behind this mask stuck to my face? At this point, I've just accepted that i am but an amalgamation of better people before me, that makes me unique, sure, but that doesn't make me, "me"
i like how u smiled when u first talked about school its cool thinking back about all that life was fun back in shcool but obivously some moments were pretty crappy but hey its life
Jak a few weeks ago "You are (a lot) more attractive than you think" Jak now "You are (a lot) uglier than you think Jokes aside, good video as always, keep it up!
Thanks Jak, before I found your videos I wan always so scared to be myself, I thought people would call me weird and a loser and all that sh!t, since I started watching you middle of year 8 I’ve started to be myself at school and I feel genuinely a lot happier, I still am working on self improvement but I’ve just been being my true best self and I just feel more confident and less insecure now, before I used to hang out with all the “cool kids” at school, I tried to be like them, talk like them and act like them but when they started to do things I didn’t like I said no and was left with barley anyone to talk to, but then I just started being myself and over time (a long a$$ time) I now have my friends who are so much better and I feel safe being myself around, because of you non of this would of happened, thank you jak.
I'm 18 doing my last exams and leaving lower school forever :) being autistic, I've always felt any interaction that I've had with others at my school has never felt right; I don't really have a real self and even others have commented that I don't really have that much of a personality. In some ways this can be seen as positive, I've never been able to fake myself to make other people like me like in this video, but I've never really felt like my true self either. To improve myself I would probably have to get over my fear of people but that is hard and it won't make me normal. I'm hoping that university goes better for me but I do not have high expectations, it's hard to stay optimistic when you have to physically write down points sometimes for it to get across to other people the way you want it to with no misunderstanding. At least I get to study something that I enjoy (forensic science) and maybe I'll learn how to interact properly around others.
It's a very interesting concept if anything, trying to be your best self. I remember trying to fit in all too many times and to say least it's definitely taught me a lot as a person. It's been taken rather a step at a time, and I've noticed that as time passed people have definitely changed their approach to me and how I act. It went from me learning how to be confident and speaking up more to eventually learning how to drop "friends", develop self respect for myself instead of playing victim to the "jokes" to look cool and move on. I wanted to have friends, but going into that rabbit hole fucked me over so many ways that I still feel the after effects. I'm instead learning how to be accepting of myself, and move myself into my own path, not chasing for the attention or validation of others and instead fulfilling whatever ambition decides to be in my head. I obviously still have a lot to learn, but this is the growth that I have taken thus far
I can relate so much to your situation, i just cant do what i like because i get judged and im already tired of going from group to group, i wanna find someone that helps me and supports me, not fakes.
This video felt so real for me! I experienced the same thing when i was in year 7 ans 8 in the UK. I was so insecure about myself I wanted to fit in so badly I was very sad and i thought it would help. I was so sorely wrong, i mean i got more popular in rhe group at the top of the social heirarchy but i soon realised they rlly werent very good ppl at all. And all the good ppl made fun of me for trying to be like them because they knew i wasn't actually like that. I never really got treated well by ppl until sixth form last year, i was socially competant and i never rlly did anythint wrong, but for some reason everyone just ignored me. I was pretty troubled, i found it very hard to relate and connect with people since i had experienced a pretty traumatic event. It made it even harder because i was closeted gay at the time and i so desperately wanted to stop being that and try and turn myself normal. It was hard and because my personality is pretty steriotypically camp, i basically suppressed my personality to try and put on this fake image of myself to everyone. And it really hurt when nobody appreciated my effort to please them. Nowadays its better, i have a boyfriend and quite a few ppl have been attracted to me. All of this because i started to act true to myself just natural to myself while improving myself to the way i want to be. Im sorry if im making it about myself, but I thought it was kinda relevant to share ^^
I’m ending my senior year in 2 weeks and literally every freshman needs to watch this 100% just be yourself and find the ones who you don’t just think but KNOW are good people, that will help you way beyond school
Thanks for the video man. The past few months made me realize that trying to be someone else to "fit in" is a huge waste of mental energy. Working on being more myself allows more space and evolution.

Coming from a girl: if she doesn't like you for your true self, she isn't worth it. Personally, my past crushes have been people who are friendly and look like they take care of themselves; meaning you don't have to be insanely good-looking for a girl to like you. So to guys trying to pull a girl, just be nice and take care of yourself.
That'll just get you friendzoned
What does taking care of yourself mean? Like basic hygiene? Showering and brushing teeth? or is it more stuff like skincare etc
@@ted9030 Basic hygiene means showering, not wearing dirty clothes, and taking care of your teeth; if you have bad skin you should take care of it, but if your skin is normal there's no need to use products, really. Healthy, clean hair in a style that suits you does wonders as well (and you don't need to buy a bunch of hair products, either).
Also, taking care of your body by eating (mostly) healthy, and taking care of yourself mentally is important because it will reflect in your confidence and social skills.
In other words, the majority of guys will be single forever.

As a woman I agree, my friends and I find men much more attractive when they're being themselves. All through highschool, there was this one group of boys who would always get in trouble, always vape and overall they just weren't being who they truly are. That group of boys always hated women and called them weak and pathetic. Needless to say, only one of the twelve guys ever got a girlfriend in high school. Even then, the girl that he dated was depressed and addicted, she probably just dated him because she had a deep void in her life and she probably believed the only way to fill it was to get with a guy, any guy. For the other guys, the ones who were genuine and true to themselves, they were the ones who got the girls.
Now that’s a real woman
@@jltyu Fr, protect this sister
Yeah to be honest the students at my school are exactly the same. The kids who were real popular at the time of this video got a lot of attention and now they barely get any. The kids who were focused and still are focused now have the most fulfilling relationships (from an outside perspective at least anyway)
yes it really just boils down to being honest for me. if they are honest with themselves and can live in it and still show growth, then i feel i can do the same around them. if someone puts up an act, its gonna start a mindgame that leads to feeling judged or malplaced. if someone is supposed to be a potential love interest, they need to be able to make you feel relaxed and grounded, not play mindgames with you. i wouldnt say its necessarily about confidence versus insecurity. im not super confident myself. if someone is insecure, it can still be attractive if they are open about it and express it. honesty is the real thing
Personally I know too many guys who openly hate women and yet have no problem with dating them at all, it doesn't look like there is a correlation between respecting women and how attactractive they find you in general. As for being genuine and true to themselves, it matters even less. It's a pretty abstract concept and people don't really think about it a lot
I don't feel like remembering my school I'm over that wasted time. Now I'm focusing on career
Hi
school is a waste of time if your ugly and shy

Refusing the vape was a good decision even if they think your a wimp or something
EDIT: i think this is my first time having more than 1000 likes.. thanks guys.
EDIT 2: guys if you get offered a vape, even if it's tempting, don't take a hit because it won't be worth the addiction (although you may not gain an addiction from just one, its just not worth it). If you ever see someone vaping, don't tell on them because if they find out it was you that told on them they won't be very happy about that. So instead, let them do it, There choice.

Thank you for this video! It's exactly what I've needed!
When high school started, I started diluting my true self and I built this fake persona because of some shit that happened in middle school. I've done this for three years and no one has ever wanted to even really be close with me much less date me.
This summer, I have started to chip away, crack, and destroy this fake persona. This video helped me a lot with diagnosing this problem as I am going to be a senior in high school in 67 days and I am going to go into it as my true, authentic self. There is going to be tough decisions to make and many things I'll have to abandon, but it will all be worth it in the end.
Keep doing good work, Jak! I wish you the best!

As a girl I agree… another thing that I like to keep in mind is, what kind of partner do you want to spend the rest of your life with? Someone who loves you for your genuine self or someone who loves the version of you you’ve put up to hide your insecurities and true self? I believe that with time you’ll find yourself miserable in that position of not facing yourself and it will definitely deprive you from the success you could have, because you’re hiding your true self with all of the potential it had.
Neither.
@@SouperEmmKay I’m happy to hear your take on this and perspective that I might have overlooked 😇
100%. Couldn’t have said it better myself 🙏❤️
@@TxSj3-ij1ob I mean, to be honest, you are absolutely right, at least for those of us searching for a partner. It's just that I'm not looking for anyone right now, possibly and even probably ever. And, now that I think about it, what you've said does actually play into it; around most people in the world, maybe even all people in the world, I would not be able to be my true self. Sure, there are eight-billion people in the world, maybe a girl exists out there who would support my goals and my ideals but, until I meet that girl, I'm not getting involved with whole romance idea and will just accept that I will be single for the entire duration of my time on Earth.
agreed
Jak, I love how you are open to sharing stories including past negative events. It makes me feel inspired and willing to improve my life. I was bullied in school and it didn't stop me from being by true self. I lived my life doing what I love but I wasn't able to share my passion with my frends, making me feel disconnected from the rest of school after class
That's exactly why I tell them brother, they're a bit embarrassing sometimes but if they help to inspire people, who really gives a shi, much love ❤
This is very inspiring, as a young woman who’s dealing with bad social anxiety, it’s been very tough for me to be myself around people, and it started even affecting my closer friendships… (which has been kinda heartbreaking for me) but I want to thank you Jak so much for reminding people the truth, you’ve already said it all so I have nothing to add! God bless you all and I hope we can all keep reminding each other theses important things! ❤
It’s crazy because I’m a guy and I also am going through that social anxiety and feel uncomfortable around people and it really does affect friendships for sure. I hope we overcome this 🙏
Hey good luck to everyone with social anxiety. you can get through this!
You’ve been helping me lately. As a 15 year old, I’ve been struggling with self confidence and other things but you’ve been helping me work through through them. Please never stop making videos❤
Thank you Jak for everything, from the videos you made i was inspired to better myself, while i might still be struggling with lust, i have been going to the gym for 2 months so far, improved my personality (according to my friends), i might not be the best version of myself yet, but you are the reason i started self improvement, if it wasnt for you i wouldnt have started going to the gym or stopped having my toxic personality, but being my true self. i dont know where id be if i hadnt gotten one of your videos in my reccomended feed.
This genuinely inspires me so much bro, but don't give me to much credit for your progress, tens of millions of people come across videos similar to mine everyday and 99.9% of them never take action. You should be giving yourself more credit for actually applying my words, and I hope you realise that ❤
It's honestly so true that when you're around someone that's authentic to them self's and confident in them self's you're very relaxed and authentic yourself as well.
Its probably hard to imagine for some people but remember when you were a kid and didn't really care what other people thought and obviously this would mostly be before you started school or whatever but it's very true and I think jak did an amazing job at explaining it ❤
All of jaks videos are absolutely amazing and I know he'll not believe that Hehe its helped me alot so THANK YOU SOO MUCH .
Much love
Peace ✌
100%. Ego kinda f*cks us up haha. Nah but I'm glad you think this way because I truly believe it's an amazing mindset, much love ❤
8:34 I'm a girl I thought someone else would've said this but I completely agree with you, the most attractive thing you can do is try to be the best version of yourself, sincerity, authenticity is key.
lol whatever you say
100% 🙏
Actually the most attractive thing you can do is be hot af visually. That's just the reality of the world. Ofc being hot isn't enough for people with standards, but let's be real, standards in 2024? jk
This is actually so relatable right now, in this part of my life, and I want to thank you for reminding me and others that the beauty in a person its their true self. Great vid
thank you man i needed this so much.
this week i was trying to realized why everybody started hating on me, why i cant get girls like i used to do before and why my life had changed in a bad way and i found out that the only reason was because i wasn't my self and i was tryna act cool and shi. so rn im just tryna remember my true self and im trying to act normal again❤

@@JakPiggottits not there?
I can relate to this pretty deeply, i've had identity issues for as long as i can remember. I didn't hold any of the "friendships" i had from school, can't really call them friendships looking back to it. But it has been bothering me, that if i even put in enough effort to be considered as a friend, and now that i'm in my 20's i don't really know how to socialize anymore. And to add on top of that, i've gotten really paranoid about other peoples intentions and constantly think that are they just using me for something they want. Now i'm just trying to achieve my own goals i guess, it is lonely and all, but at least i have a chance of being truly okay with myself. I don't want to depend on outside validation anymore.
man i am so grateful that i watched this, im currently still in highschool and i've been having problems with anxiety and being insecure, and like what you did before, i tried to copy other people, but because of that i ended up ruining some of my relationships with my other friends slightly. I've always thought that being myself would make other people consider me "weird", but after watching this, and after talking to my friends about this, my views have changed, and i cant thank you enough for making this video, because it truly did help me a lot.
Always be your true authentic self jack..even when you hit 20mill.. always remember this

Nah I'll never change, this channel was built off of the authentic me, and subs won't effect that ❤

As someone who has been through very similar things like this, I'm left speechless. And the fact that you're teaching others to not make the same mistakes you have through your own experience in life is genuinely heartwarming. It is truly important, to just be yourself
Jak, please read this
You are absolutely one of the best people I have seen videos of. You are the best motivational person ever. The deep trench I was falling into with the popular friend group seemed like something decent to do, but then i switched groups and realized that this mob mentality that these people were getting was going to be really bad. I still sometimes go into t he friend group, but I won’t be a full member and do anything they tell me to do for respect, I would just be an ally and a friend with the group form now on, thanks to this video. It looks like I dodged a whole bomb here. I realized that I was putting a mental mask on and hiding my true self for respect and attention. It was stupid and I’m glad I saved myself. Thank you for being my savior, along with the many subscribers you have.
I'm in year 7 and you really helped me be my true authentic self with your videos, thankyou Jak!
I feel like i’m being my true self and I’m confident in it. And I honestly would say that i look pretty good. But I don’t think that any girl is that attracted to me, do I just need to wait? And btw, I can’t tell how many times you have saved my day from just being a lay-in-bed-all-day-and-scroll-on-tiktok-day Jak. You give me motivation like crazy for actually doing something with my life and every time I get stuck scrolling, your videos, no matter the purpose, always makes me do what I’m supposed to do.

DUDE I spent almost all of 6th grade putting an arrogant personality, but in the final two weeks I realized that was horrible. This video only encourages me more not to follow that path, well done.
It truly hits differently when you can just be yourself with no space for judgment, bro. That statement really changed my day.
as a female australian i can completely understand the stuff hes talking ab growing up, ab the guys and even some girls being them eshay types and stuff. hes completely right and now that im a bit older i still dont know everything, but lemme js say the guys that are like that are super unattractive to me cus i know its all an act. as a girl i used to even try be an eshay or gangster or whatever type but it never rlly felt right and now im tryna be my best genuine self it feels so much more refreshing. it feels so good to be myself and only surruond myself with others with a similar mindset. thank you for this video and i love ur content :)
I gotta say that i love that a can relate to almost all of you’re videos. Ive been through the same thing before and the lesson i learned is don’t be someone your not, be an original.
Love the content
Much love 👊❤️
Thank you brother ❤
I can unfortunately relate to this heavyy, hanging out with the wrong crowd was one of my biggest mistakes.
I went through the exact same situation as a middle schooler. I absolutely envied the popular kids, wanted to be in their group so that I could feel included. I even knew the group leader from a previous school in around 1st or 2nd grade, before he was transfered to the catholic school I later also attended. I tried to fit in with them, and wanted to be like them, but I was always excluded. Not by being told no, but more or less they'd just look at me with a plain face, then simply ignore me, like I was being shunned. It was phychological tortue. I'm lucky I didn't end up with any sort of depression or mental issue by the time I graduated. What that whole experience, from the moment I stepped foot in that school to the moment I left, was that no matter how poorly you're treated by your peers in such a desparate community, you should always stand your ground and push through. School is a horrific mental battlefield of social heirarchy and soured mentalities, only defeated by those who see through nonsensical claims that "if you aren't part of a group, you're no one".
I'm so happy that this kind of thing is the direction we as a society are turning in now, actually educational content with valuable lessons about life. It's people like you and your lessons that help everyone the most, you should be very proud of that.
man that title really helps me out
yup
You gotta read the thumbnail text bro haha 😂
Great vid your the reason I stopped the hub, Thanks man
Means a lot to hear that bro but give yourself more credit than you give me ❤
Ay dude I'm in 12th grade now, and I always hide my true self in front of my friends and try to be more like them, you know, try to fit in. But it doesn't work and they will keep ignoring me like they always have, all my life. Your life resonates with me man. I'd rather be alone than give up my comfortable personality. This video is my turning point.
Just because everyone is stupid doesn't mean you too have to be stupid.
Thanks
I am in 10th grade and 1 month ago I used to hang out with these so called friends, they were good people before but then they changed, I didn't like their negative attitude and not gonna lie I was trying to be like them for like 2 whole freaking years, I lost my true self and forgot who I truly am, and recently I got into a fight with them and I decide that fk it , I am fine with being alone than having stupid people as friends, I am trying to get back to my true self now .....
I needed this video man. It's my final year of being on my childhood swim team and last year I was one of the fastest, so I let the attention get to my head. I'm going to do my best to be myself this year and encourage the new swimmers, but also have fun with my friends while being myself.
hey man, I've been struggling a lot with my personality, I was told that I didn't have one. I'd always just talk like my friends copy them be like them because I thought they were cool. Not because they bullied me into it or anything I just thought that's how I would interact with them. It got to a point where I couldn't be myself even if I tried and it got anyone to them so they cut me off. I stopped talking to them for 6 months and found another friend to start talking to, eventually I got caught back in the loop of just accidentally acting like them and not trying to say what I wanna say and instead just started agreeing with him on everything. I tried to stop but at that point I don't know that I could find where or who I was, I was so disassociated with my self that the only thing I knew how to do was copy what they did. Fast forward to now and not much has changed, The old group of friends came back to talk because at that point I hadn't seen them in a year and a half. They apologized for blocking me and whatever but that's not the point. My question to you is, how do I break this cycle? How do I become someone that is a someone? How do I stop and think about what I've done and turn that into how I talk how I walk and how I think?
This made me realize that people would probably be less introverted if they decided to be themselves
he unlocked Mahito's Self-Embodiment of Perfection, gg
I'm one of these "eshays" here there is a lil secret: even tho their talking to a lot of people it's hard to make very close relationships, not impossible but hard.
I do have very close friends but it was difficult doing that.
The advantage is that there is a friend for everything, whenever I need to just chill & laugh I have a group of boys I train with, whenever I need emotional suppot I have like 3-8 females I can talk to.
Whenever I need to gossip about boys I have a different group of females...
You get my point by now.
I'm my true authentic self before asking any questions... my moto is: if you like me as I am great & if you don't than don't talk to me.
Then you woke up
Yeah, I’ve always noticed that these people, even though they are friends, they just feel so.. disconnected. Like sure they make a lot of friends but I’ve never seen them grow a personal connection to one without being their true self, really, these “eshays” when they put up their “mask” they never develop any true or deep relationship

Jak I know you may never see this, but today I was at school with that one group of "gangster" kids in my class (Im year 8, going to secondary because I got accepted sooner) and I never noticed this one thing before this video: this whole year I was trying to be like them. All year have I spent analyzing their behavioral patterns and getting to know how they joke and etc. Today I spent my first day talking to them, they laughed at my dirty jokes, they started listening to me, I swore and much more. I let down my one real friend that I made fun of today. They laughed at my jokes about him and I felt somewhat comfort but deep down I knew something was wrong. I hope I didn't break our bond. I will try to act on your advice and be a better person through improvement. I have no idea how this video got to me (propably chinese spies) but I am truly greateful that it did. Thx

I’m 12, and I think that I could relate to this. I was pressured into using a vape, I have never touched one since. I could relate to being called names becuase you didn’t do what they asked, putting people down, ect. I will try to be myself, and I am doing my best. Thank you for this video.
make sure to be yourself and find who are your real friends!
Wow, your school years have been exactly like mine, it’s comforting to see that so many people have gone through the same things, year 7 I found myself walking around with the “popular” group where I was just following them and trying to be like them. Then in year 8 they turned on this other girl in the group (who I had just met and was starting to get to know) so I stuck up for her and it was the best decision of my life because I started to be myself again . Now 3 years later I have found myself a lifelong best friend and a small group which I love so much and I believe that if I hadn’t left the “popular” girls then my life would have turned out much differently!
Thank you for this video Jack. I’ve been watching them for a while and I think this one hit me much harder than the rest of them, as I’ve been really thinking about how I want to be more confident and fit in more. The problems you were having prior to being with the popular kids are very similar to the problems im experiencing now and I really want to thank you for this advice. Rather than chase lifestyle of these popular dudes at my school I will strive to be the best version of my authentic self, all thanks to you man❤
"You are (a lot) more attractive than you think..."
"You are actually (a lot uglier than you think..."
What are you trying to tell me 😭
them skits haha
You gotta read the text on the thumbnail man, I’m not calling you ugly off rip 😂
Moral of the story: Don't vape- if you don't do it, that does NOT make you a wimp. It makes you a good decision maker.
Im still a kid by now, and i have a lot of friends that vape... Ir makes me sad, but i feel good cuz i dont do that type of things...
There’s two things that really helped me and it’s being a little kinder to yourself. I had really low self esteem and hated myself quite frankly, I held myself to ridiculous standards and was constantly never enough. Evening just verbally being kinder to myself thought me so much about being positive. I just found that trying to see the good things made life more enjoyable? I used to be super pessimistic and even though I still have depression people like being around people that make them feel better not worse? The other thing is that trying to be someone you’re not is a waste of who you are. I found that unapologetically being myself made me meet people who I actually get along with. Idk in the past couple years I’ve made friends that I now consider family. It’s rough but things get better :)
im glad that you got better now and have more friends that you consider family. So um, what specific things did you do to be a kinder to yourself and raise your low self esteem? Did you stop looking in the mirror as much and point out all of your imperfections for example. Ty, have a lovely day/night!
I’m not a guy but this video was still super cool and helpful and I have gone through something similar to you and this video really helped me to know that being popular will never make me as happy as being who I am

I have a question... Who's me? Who am i? What if i have made a mask from various people's personality and now I don't know what's behind this mask stuck to my face?

I'm 18 doing my last exams and leaving lower school forever :)
being autistic, I've always felt any interaction that I've had with others at my school has never felt right; I don't really have a real self and even others have commented that I don't really have that much of a personality. In some ways this can be seen as positive, I've never been able to fake myself to make other people like me like in this video, but I've never really felt like my true self either. To improve myself I would probably have to get over my fear of people but that is hard and it won't make me normal. I'm hoping that university goes better for me but I do not have high expectations, it's hard to stay optimistic when you have to physically write down points sometimes for it to get across to other people the way you want it to with no misunderstanding. At least I get to study something that I enjoy (forensic science) and maybe I'll learn how to interact properly around others.

@@xjchcjd34nope it’s not
It's a very interesting concept if anything, trying to be your best self. I remember trying to fit in all too many times and to say least it's definitely taught me a lot as a person.
It's been taken rather a step at a time, and I've noticed that as time passed people have definitely changed their approach to me and how I act. It went from me learning how to be confident and speaking up more to eventually learning how to drop "friends", develop self respect for myself instead of playing victim to the "jokes" to look cool and move on. I wanted to have friends, but going into that rabbit hole fucked me over so many ways that I still feel the after effects. I'm instead learning how to be accepting of myself, and move myself into my own path, not chasing for the attention or validation of others and instead fulfilling whatever ambition decides to be in my head. I obviously still have a lot to learn, but this is the growth that I have taken thus far

I can relate so much to your situation, i just cant do what i like because i get judged and im already tired of going from group to group, i wanna find someone that helps me and supports me, not fakes.
This video felt so real for me! I experienced the same thing when i was in year 7 ans 8 in the UK. I was so insecure about myself I wanted to fit in so badly I was very sad and i thought it would help. I was so sorely wrong, i mean i got more popular in rhe group at the top of the social heirarchy but i soon realised they rlly werent very good ppl at all. And all the good ppl made fun of me for trying to be like them because they knew i wasn't actually like that. I never really got treated well by ppl until sixth form last year, i was socially competant and i never rlly did anythint wrong, but for some reason everyone just ignored me. I was pretty troubled, i found it very hard to relate and connect with people since i had experienced a pretty traumatic event. It made it even harder because i was closeted gay at the time and i so desperately wanted to stop being that and try and turn myself normal. It was hard and because my personality is pretty steriotypically camp, i basically suppressed my personality to try and put on this fake image of myself to everyone. And it really hurt when nobody appreciated my effort to please them. Nowadays its better, i have a boyfriend and quite a few ppl have been attracted to me. All of this because i started to act true to myself just natural to myself while improving myself to the way i want to be. Im sorry if im making it about myself, but I thought it was kinda relevant to share ^^
I promise to do one pushup and one situp every like this comment gets.
